69:2
What is the Hour of Truth?
69:3
And how would you know what is the Hour of Truth?
69:4
The people of Thamud and ‘Aad denied [that there would be a] sudden calamity.
69:5
So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering blast.
69:6
And as for Aad, they were destroyed by a furious, roaring wind
69:7
which He unleashed against them for seven nights and eight days, nonstop. You could have seen its people lying dead as if they were hollow palm tree trunks.
69:8
Do you see anything left of them?
69:9
Then came Pharaoh and those before him, and the destroyed towns that indulged in sin.
69:10
They disobeyed their Lord’s Messenger, so He seized them with an overpowering grip.
69:11
When the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship
69:12
To make it a lesson for you to remember, so listening ears may recall it.
69:13
Then when the Horn is blown with a single blast,
69:14
and the Earth and the mountains are lifted up and crushed with one blow,
69:15
on that Day, the Hour of Truth will occur.
69:16
The heaven will split open on that Day, since it will be so frail.
69:17
And the angels will be round its edges. On that Day, eight of them will bear your Lord’s Throne of His majesty above them.
69:18
On that Day you will be exposed, and no secret of yours will remain hidden.
69:19
As for him who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, take my record and read it,
69:20
I expected that I would be held accountable."
69:21
So, he will have a pleasant life
69:22
in an elevated Garden,
69:23
its pickings are within easy reach.
69:24
Eat and drink merrily for what you have done in days gone by.
69:25
As for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "I wish I was never given my record
69:26
and never knew what my account was.
69:27
If only death had really been the end.
69:28
My wealth has been of no use to me
69:29
and my power has vanished."
69:30
[God will say], "Seize him and shackle him.
69:31
Then drive him into Hell.
69:32
Then tie him with a chain whose length is seventy cubits."
69:33
For he would not believe in God, the Magnificent,
69:34
nor would he encourage feeding the disabled.
69:35
So he has no friend here this Day,
69:36
nor any food except scum,
69:37
that only sinners eat.
69:38
So I swear by what you see
69:39
and what you do not see
69:40
that this is the word of a noble Messenger.
69:41
And It is not the word of a poet; how little you believe,
69:42
nor the word of a soothsayer; how little you remember,
69:43
The gradual revelations of the Book, is from the Lord of the worlds.
69:44
Had he [the Messenger] falsely attributed some statements to Us,
69:45
We would have seized him by the right arm.
69:46
Then We would have slashed his lifeline,
69:47
and none of you could have protected him.
69:48
It [The Qur’an] is a reminder for the those who are mindful of God.
69:49
And We know that some of you will deny it.
69:50
It is a cause of great distress to the unbelievers.
69:51
And it is the Truth of certainty.
69:52
Exalt, then, the limitless glory of your Lord’s magnificent name.
